This also implies practical measures and technical means to ensure the security of historic buildings. It is generally agreed that threats due to - rather exceptional - natural causes and the daily action of atmospheric factors are in fact less dangerous for cultural property than those caused by people themselves: inappropriate actions due to ignorance, insufficient maintenance due to neglect or worse, theft, vandalism. Movable art treasures in religious buildings are particularly at risk. This colloquy presented and discussed measures taken for the protection of the heritage against theft, vandalism and fire. It evaluated them in the general context of the protection and the conservation of historic buildings in Europe. The aim of this colloquy was also to begin, on this basis, to consider ways of fighting these scourges, bearing in mind, amongst others, the possibilities given by recent developments in advanced technology. This event addressed specialists in the protection and conservation of the heritage, representatives of firms producing systems (against fire, theft and vandalism), policemen and other categories of people specialising in the prevention and the fight against this type of crime.
